ESS for macOS - Limitations

Ekahau Site Survey for macOS has been officially released. You can download it from the same place as the Windows version (check your license email for the download URL). The macOS version works quite similarly as the Windows version. However, there are a couple of limitations to be aware of. Below are the main limitations compared to the windows version.

SITE SURVEYING

No external USB survey adapter Support (Ex. Ekahau NIC-300 / SA-1)

Ekahau Sidekick is compatible with macOS and is recommended for surveying with the macOS version. There is no support (and never will be) for NIC-300 / Proxim 8494 adapters on macOS.

GPS SUPPORT

Currently there is no GPS support for outdoor surveys on the macOS version.

LICENSING

A single license can be shared on multiple devices running windows and macOS by tying the license to the Ekahau Sidekick. Works the same way as tying the license to the NIC-300 / SA-1 usb survey adapter on the Windows version.

Right! Can this page get updated for Sidekick? A little daunting to have this big page saying the Mac version can't survey, when that was one of my arguments for upgrading from our NIC-300 USB to Sidekick!
